After World War 2The majority of people went home and returned to civilian life.

However, Axis prisoners in Allied hands had to wait. For example, the Soviet Union held on to some German prisoners of war till 1955.

There were, of course, also those who were deprived of their homes. An estimated 11.7 million Germans were expelled from Poland, Czechoslovakia and various east European countries and many perished in the process.

Some Ukrainians (and some other Soviet troops) had thrown in their lot with the Nazis and were very keen to avoid being sent home ... Some of them were allowed to settle in Canada and some other Western countries.

Jewish Holocaust survivors in some East European countries - above all Poland - faced further massacres after going home, and many emigrated to Israel.

Then there were those Nazis were went to Argentina ...
